About the Lance's Legacy 5k and Fun Run
This race is held in memory of Lance Sotelo, a runner who was killed while out on a run. His family started a non-profit in his name, and the event raises funds for scholarships given to student runners who reflect the values Lance lived by: perseverance, acceptance, and love.
The race falls on Lance's birthday, which gives the morning a particular weight. It is the kind of event where the people around you mostly know why they are there, and that awareness sits quietly over the whole thing.
